Kwame Kilpatrick accused of missing restitution payment

Prosecutor says ex-Detroit mayor did not pay $500 required last month

Prosecutors say ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick missed a November payment on his six-figure restitution to the city.

Wayne County prosecutor's spokeswoman Maria Miller says Kilpatrick didn't pay $500 as required last month. She says any action is up to the state Corrections Department, which oversees Kilpatrick's parole. Kilpatrick could face jail time for the probation violation.

However, sources tell Local 4 that Kilpatrick's ongoing federal corruption trial likely will stand between him and time behind bars. If he is jailed for breaking probation, an already lengthy could be delayed.

Corrections spokesman Russ Marlan says his agency is investigating the missed November payment.
